I Will Praise God Even in the Storm

Lonliness, heartbreak, isolation, betrayal...the list goes on.

As you walk through this mentoring journey, realize that you do not have to bear all these burdens alone (Gal. 6:2).

One thing we are learning in this ministry is that we are to reach out beyond ourselves. Sometimes that means that we are to slow down and take time out to care for other people.

Other times it means that we need to step outside of our comfort zone and share some of our own burdens with someone else. This is an important element in mentoring. It is part of our journey toward godliness...together. Don't forget to utilize your prayer warrior. She is there, waiting to lift your name to the Lord of hosts.

Turn your eyes toward God and praise Him even during your stormy times. He holds you in His capable hands, and will not let you go. God has a plan, but we cannot always see it. Our Bible study reminded us that, "the Lord of hosts has sworn saying, 'Surely, just as I have intended so it has happened, and just as I have planned so it will stand...For the Lord of hosts has planned, and who can frustrate it?'" (Isa. 14:24, 27).

The words to this popular song help me to praise God, even when life seems bleak:

I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will life my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
